Thanks for your help! Ruger American Ranch Rifle 300 AAC Blackout

[300black]

Look what followed me home. Sale for $399 at Cabelas. Not a great price, but no one else seems to have them in stock and the ones that were cheaper would end up being more after shipping and FFL fees. I wanted to have a 300 BO to test out my suppressor with this year. Now I just need to get a scope for it and put my Sig suppressor on it. Can't wait to shoot it. Thanks for your input on helping me with this purchase.

Welcome to the club! You will enjoy the RARR!
A few hints:
-The channel in the bolt where the bolt stop runs can be sharp enough to draw blood. You can just run a stone along it a few times to dull it.
-Some magazines may have a little ridge at the inside front that can be scraped off with a knife. The magazine will actually hold 6 cartridges.
-The mouth of a case will occasionally catch on the mouth of the chamber when feeding. More crimp on your reloads will help stop this problem. As the rifle is used the edge of the chamber will round off and the trouble will go away.
-Some compact scopes will have a short distance between the turret and the eyepiece. The rear mount in its rearmost position may not allow the scope to be mounted far enough to the rear to get the proper eye relief.
-The recoil pad will stick to the inside of some gun cases if the rifle is stored for a long time. This will also occur with other brands of recoil pads. I just slip a plastic bag over the butt.
Enjoy your rifle!

Do you have a pic of the the channel in the bolt that is sharp? I couldn't find it when I looked.

The serial number in the picture is in the groove ( channel ). The groove ( channel ) extends back nearly to the bolt handle. Ruger may have corrected the problem by now. I have an early rifle.

Congrats on your purchase! I hope it works as well as mine! It's wonderfully accurate with that barrel length and one of the smoothest actions I have ever operated. Not a bad package for $399. Just waiting for HPA to pass.

I really like those rifles.

Had they existed when I built my AR upper, I would've almost certainly picked it up over the upper I built.

No association, just a handy illustration from this article. http://gunblast.com/Ruger-AmericanRR.htm
After I read about the RARR, I dropped my plans to re-barrel a Mossberg MVP to 300 Blk. I immediately started searching, and found one at my LGS in December of 2014 for $409.
